"Alright!" Leo bellowed, his voice filled with an almost comical gusto. He'd been planning this for weeks: a surprise picnic for his girlfriend. Everything was ready – the basket brimming with her favorite treats, the blanket, the perfect scenic spot. He sprinted out the back door, practically vibrating with excitement. He looked at the driveway. Bare. The car was missing. He paused, a momentary flicker of… well, something you might call excited confusion. He threw his head back and laughed, a full-bellied sound that echoed in the quiet cul-de-sac. "Well then," he proclaimed, "This just got interesting!"
